Reliable assembly with contact sensing and force control
The Touch Robot’s adaptability is demonstrated by assembling heat-set threaded inserts in a plastic injection molding. The videos first show how an imprecisely positioned part is located and the insert bottomed out in the pilot hole by using contact detection. Then, the insert is heated, and with steady force, pressed […]
Abrasive cutoff added to tool list
For those times when it is better to surgically cut away material rather than grinding it to dust or turning it into chips, the Touch Robot can employ a cutoff wheel. This can allow more material to be reclaimed!
Expanded tool changer with gripper
The number of stations in the tool changer has been increased to 5, increasing the range of work that the robot can perform. In addition, a gripper has been added to the menu of available tools. Now the robot can perform material handling, loading and unloading parts from its fixture!
